THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE BROWN AND WHITE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. NO STAINS OR HANDLING MARKS. THE COLOUR STRETCHES FULLY INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE AND WHITE LOGOS ARE ALL UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THERE ARE JUST 1-2 TINY SPIDER LINES NEAR THE SPINDLE HOLE , AND COUPLED WITH THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL AND HOW THIS PLAYS I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS ALBUM HAS BARELY BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE IN THE LAST 54 YEARS
THE VINYL
THIS HEAVYWEIGHT DISC IS IN SUPERB CONDITON. THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE OF THE VINYL HAS BEEN RETAINED WITH A DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL IS SPOTLESS. NO MARKS OR HANDLING LINES, AND EVEN UNDER A MAGNIFYING LED HALO, THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
A MINT RECORD
THE TEST PLAY
THE ALBUM PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH, AND THE FIRST THING TO POINT OUT IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION AT ANY POINT THROUGH THE PLAYTHROUGH.
CLEARLY THE COUPLE OF PLAYS THIS ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WERE COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM WHICH HAS A CORRECTLY TRACKED AND WEIGHTED STYLUS WHICH WAS ALSO IN UNWORN CONDITION
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PURE DECCA / DERAM FIRST PRESS. LOUD AND CLEAR WITH A CRISPNESS TO THE AUDIO
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND CERTAINLY NO LOUD CLICKS
NO VINYL NOISE AND ABSOLUTELY NO MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF STATIC
I CANNOT EVEN SAY THAT I HEARD ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS A BETTER A AND CLEANER COPY OF THIS ALBUM OUT THERE
I AM HAPPY TO GRADE THIS VINYL PLAYTHROUGH MINT MINUS
PLEASE TAKE A LISTEN AND JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF
THE SLEEVE
LAMINATED GATEFOLD FROM ROBERT STACE
THE FRONT SURFACE JUST MAGNIFICENT. TOTALLY FLAT AND CLEAN, AND THE LAMINATE GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR.
THERE ARE NO CREASES OR CREASE LINES ANYWHERE, AND ONLY TWO REALLY TINY LAMINATE PRESSURE LINES NEAR THE SPINE
TWO ON THE TOP EDGE, TWO ON THE BOTTOM EDGE
AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE
NO LAMINATE PEEL OR FLAKE, AND THREE OF THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE, WITH THE BOTTOM RIGHT TIP HAVING A DOT OF RUB
NO RING WEAR OR EVEN RECORD SHAPE ON EITHER FRONT OR REAR SURFACES
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE IN TOP CONDITION, WITH NO SHELF WEAR WHATSOEVER, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. ONLY THE FRONT BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER TIP ENDS HAS THAT DOT OF RUB
THE SPINE IS TOTALLY FLAT AND UNSQUASHED AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS PROPERLY INTACT. EVERY LETTER OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, WITH A SLIVER OF RUB TO THE VERY ENDS AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM
THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP AND INCREDIBLY NOT ONE THUMB NAIL NICK TO EITHER SIDE.
THE REAR SURFACE IS ALMOST IN EXACTLY THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT. A TINY SPECK OF LAMINATE LIFT ON THE TOP EDHE AND A LIGHT SHADOW OF RECORD IMPRESSION
OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO EXCEPTIONAL INNER PANELS
THE ORIGINAL BLUE AND WHITE INNER SLEEVE IS INCLUDED AND IS IN EXCEPTIONAL UNSPLIT CONDITION, WITHOUT ANY CREASES
HAPPY TO GRADE THE SLEEVE NEAR MINT
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
